My love for you is so strong that no one could kill it - not even you.
Anna Akhamtova
Without love our life is. . . a ship without a rudder. . . like a body without a soul.
Sholem Aleichem
. . . and is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses?
Tori Amos
The way I see it, the men that I'm with, whoever they are, its like, you have to accept that I like ice cream, and I know it show up on my hips, but if you can't accept that, then leave. Go away. Toodles. It is non-negotiable.
Tori Amos
You love because you cannot help it.
Kim Anderson
We love labels. We really do - as a society I mean. It's so much easier to understand the world around us if we name it, tie it down, and distance ourselves from the parts we don't like. . . We all want to be loved, we all want to love, we all want to share the happiness in our lives with others. The experience is how far we are willing to go to live our lives with that love.
Kyle Anderson
We're never so vulnerable as when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.
Walter Anderson
The words "I love you" often come from our mouths sounding so monotonous, but it's not all that. . . there's a deeper meaning within those words. . .it's like saying, "you're a part of my life."
Bernadette Anne
There is love of course. and there's life, its enemy.
Jean Anouith

I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch, I fell too far, I feel too much.
Jane Arden
Nobody dies from lack of sex. Its lack of love we die from.
Margaret Atwood
Among those I like or admire, I can find no common denomination, but among those I love, I can; all of them make me laugh.
W. H. Auden
A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not who we're pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one other person, we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. We're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
Richard Bach
How dare we ask for intimacy and joy, when a lukewarm lover and mild happiness are the best we can find? Yet, in our hearts we know that lukewarm water will turn cold, mild happiness will become a kind of nameless sadness. Nagging questions: is this the love of my life? Is this all there is? Is this why I'm here? In our hearts we know there must be something more and we long for the one we never found.
Richard Bach
It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it that you might somehow be happy. Until you make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost.
Richard Bach
The cure for sadness is having that someone special hold you until you feel better.
Laura Balcarcel
True love doesn't consist of holding hands, it consists of holding hearts.

Dave Barry
In my mind I know I shouldn't, but in my heart I know I nust. . . it all seems so impractical, but it's in my heart I must.
Steven Blands
I wanna be there when your nights are long and when you're feeling that you don't belong.
Blessid Union of Souls
It is not love that steals the heart from love; it is the hard world and its perplexing cares, its petrifying selfishness, its pride, its low ambition, and its paltry armies.
Charlotte Bowles
What is love? Perhaps we may find that love is the ability of someone to give us back to us. Maybe love is someone seeing and remembering and handing us back to ourselves just a trifle better than we had dare to hope or dream.
Ray Bradbury
We are each other's angels. We meet when it is time.
C. Brodsky
As long as one heart still holds on,
Then hope is never really gone.
Garth Brooks
Everything we do in life is based upon fear, especially love.
Mel Brooks
Love doesn't come easily. It is a living thing. It thrives in the face of all life's hazards, save one - neglect.
James D. Bryden
Love cannot be found, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of Heaven, unasked and unsought.
Pearl Buck
Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another's personhood.
Karen Casey
At some point your heart will tell itself what to do.
Achaan Chan
It's not who you love - it's how.

Joan Chittister
Only the heart knows the correct answer.
D. Chopra
Love has depth after depth.
D. Chopra
An intimate relationship is one allows you to be yourself.
D. Chopra
The path to love isn't a choice, for all of us must find our who we are. This is our spiritual destiny. The path can be postponed, you can lose faith in it or even despair that love exists. None of that is permanent. Only the path is.
D. Chopra
It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.
Agatha Christie
Nothing is too hard for him who loves.
Cicero
That is where the golden knowledge is, the important signs of danger, of safety, of what is within the secret heart. Remember, all of us here, men and women, have three hearts, one for all the world to see. one for their family, and one for themselves.
James Clavell
It is lonely out here. We recognize each other. And having recognized each other, is it any wonder that our souls hold hands and cling together even while our minds equivocate, hesitate, vacillate, and tremble?
Eldridge Cleaver
Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you.
Phil Collins

and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands.
e. e. cummings - "somewhere I have never travelled"
Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star. . .
e.e.cummings
Forever was never till now.
e. e. cummings
The voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses.
e. e. cummings
I carry your heart. . . I carry it in my heart.

Be of love a little more careful than anything.
e. e. cummings
When souls talk, no words are needed. The magic of the heart is always better felt than heard!
Nirvikar Dahiya
Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It's much too pliable, too yeilding.
Bette Davis
Love is a temporary madness, it errupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decsion. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined that it is inconcieveable that you should ever part.
Louis de Berniers
Love is nopt breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. . . Love is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both and art and a fortunate accident.
Louis de Berniers
Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a thrird into ice, anbd sets a fourth in a flame; it woulnds one, another it kills; like lightningit begins and ends in the same moment; it makes the fort yeild at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.
Miguel de Cervantes
Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone take them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.

Dostoyevsky
Love should come before logic. Only then will a man understand the meaning of life.

Juliette Drouet
You will find as you look back upon you life, that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.

T. S. Elliot

Love distills desire upon the eyes, love brings bewitching grace to the heart. . .
Euripides
To love is to open one's soul, leaving it open to hurt and pain, but to joy and bliss as well.
Sara Fairbrother
Love's tongue is in the eyes.
Phineas Fletcher
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer. There is no disease that enough love will not heal. No door the enough love will not open. No gulf that enough love will not bridge. No wall that enough love will not throw down. And no sin that love will not redeem. It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble. How hopeless the outlook. How muddles the tangle. How great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. And if you could love enough, you would be the happiest and most powerful person in the world.
Emmet Fox
Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly.
Rose Franken
Love is the irresistable desire to be irresistably desired.
Robert Frost
The heart will turn into a prune if love is always by the numbers. How will you know if someone really loves you if he only meets your expectations and not your needs?
Robert Fulghum
Then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life . . . You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day, like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.
Neil Gaiman
When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn't make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other, we feel not safe, but better. "It's alright" we whisper. "I'm here, I love you," and we lie, "I'll never leave you." For just a moment or two the darkness doesn't seem so bad.
Neil Gaiman
For love is part of the dreamworld. Love belongs to desire, and desire is always cruel.
Neil Gaiman -"The Sandman: A Doll's House"
To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart, and to sing it to them when they have forgotten.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed but my soul.
Judy Garland
He who has been smitten by the arrows of love is no longer afraid of any other wound,

For you see, each day I love you more, Today more than yesterday, and less than tomorrow.
Rosemonde Gerard
The giving and receiveing of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
Kahlil Gibran
It is a word uttered by four lips proclaiming the heart a throne. . . It is the gentle touch of the delicate fingers of the breeze on the lips of the rose - uttering a long sigh of relief and a sweet moan.
Kahlil Gibran
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.
Kahlil Gibran
Love, like death, changes everything.
Kahlil Gibran
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
Kahlil Gibran
We love because it's the only true adventure.
Nikki Giovanni
Trust your heart. . .Never deny is a haring. It is the kind of house oracle that often forthess the most important.

He who has been smitten by the arows of love is no longer afraid of any other wound.
